in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

The Copycat Bitcoin Wallet service “Electrum Pro” has closed its official website and the company is trying to find evidence that their software was maliciously attacked by “Bitcoin Stealing Malware”. The electrum team (electrum.org) - released a lightweight bitcoin purse in 2011 - the evidence released on GitHub shows that the so-called (electrum.com) is actually malicious software and is designed to steal user information.

Despite dissenting protests, Electrum Pro clearly intended to lure users into believing that they are an upgraded version of the official wallet. In addition to using similar domain names, the Electrum Pro logo and website content give the impression that both are interrelated companies. The archived version on the Electrum Pro website: "Electrum has always had a wallet protection service since 2011 and is also one of the most popular bitcoin wallets of the time. ElectrumPro is freeware, released using a MIT license. Anyone can Run the Electrum server. No entity controls the network. "In addition, the imitate site's ad ranks first in the Google search "Electrum", which may potentially allow many potential users to jump out of the official site and its independent site. LoffGrn sued the official Eulrm for the reputation of his project and said that he and his team have decided to move to other projects. He added that he will sell the ELECTRUM.COM domain name at 25BTC, which is currently worth about $215,000. "Because of the wrong allegations from Err.Urg, they undermined our reputation and brand. They managed to fool a few news media to scold us," wrote Lovegren. "We decided to use different methods to handle different projects. Our domain name ELECTRUM.COM is now sold at a price of 25 BTC and is not transferable.
